Can you consume too much CBD?

CBD is one of more than 500 compounds present in the cannabis plant. Individuals can tolerate relatively high doses of cannabidiol (CBD) and there is little evidence of people overdosing.

When a person uses CBD, they interact with the Endocannabinoid System, this refers to a complex biological system with receptors throughout the human body. These receptors are part of the body’s Nervous System and play a role in many processes, including appetite, pain, and memory.

Evidence suggests that people tolerate CBD well, especially when using adequate doses, such as the recommended doses in many CBD products. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), CBD is safe when used properly by a person.

How much is too much CBD? The answer will be different for each person, as CBD affects individuals differently. Luckily, if you accidentally take too much CBD, the side effects are considered mild and temporary. And therefore we stress the importance of researching the products and making sure you buy premium quality CBD oil like those from Proper Canna.

According to a 2011 study, published in Current Drug Safety, the “toxic” dose of CBD falls somewhere around 20,000 mg of CBD, taken almost all at once. To understand this, it’s important to note that the suggested dosage for most conditions is around 5-20mg per day.

While studies have been done on dosages around 1,500 mg per day, most tinctures contain between 100 and 1,500 mg in a whole bottle. That means someone would need to ingest between 13 and 200 full bottles of CBD tincture at one time, depending on the concentration of CBD inside the bottles. And that’s an effort hard to imagine!

Bottom line: when taking the recommended doses, or even beyond the recommended daily doses, the average CBD user doesn’t need to worry about having taken too much.
